What is the difference between radio waves and gamma rays?
  • A: Gamma rays have a longer wavelength.
  • B: Gamma rays have a higher frequency.
  • C: Gamma rays have a larger amplitude.
  • D: Gamma rays move at a faster speed.


"These comments were NOT awarded credit: (Can you see why?)"
  • Gamma rays have a longer wave length than radio waves to A is the correct answer. Radio waves are at about 102 and two meters on the spectrum scale when gamma rays are about 0.0009 when shorted. There are a lot more zeros but im not sure how much.
  • I concluded "A" as my final answer. I concluded "A" as my final answer because gamma rays have a longer frequency, and when a wave has a longer frequency, the wave the length is longer.
  • I arrived at the answer B because if Gamma rays had a longer wavelength, they would not be the skinny little waves that they are. So that ruled out A. If Gamma rays had a larger amplitude, they would not be that small, which rules out C. I'm pretty torn between B and D, but I eventually decided B because gamma rays come more frequently than radio waves do.
  • the correct answer is B because it is the only possible answer, A is not a possible answer because the exact opposite is true. Gamma rays have a shorter wavelength. C is also wrong because gamma rays have a shorter amplitude. D is also wrong because they move at the same speed.
  • I chose the answer B. This is because gamma rays have a higher frequency then radio waves. Radio waves have a longer wave length so A is wrong. C is wrong because Radio waves have the larger amplitude, and D is wrong because all waves have the same speed.
  • I found that the answer is B, I know this because I know Gamma Rays have the highest frequency then radio and if the frequency is higher it eliminates answer A right away. I know that Gamma rays have a smaller amplitude and a slower speed from our quia we recently did.
  • D is the answer. Gamma rays have a faster speed than radio waves. They have a faster speed because the distance between each peak is closer than the radio waves. This means that the Gamma rays move faster.
  • the answer is D. found this using the picture of the different levels of radiation from yesterdays quia to help me in my quest to get the right answer. the gamma rays are the highest on the scale in the picture and radio waves are a lot lower on the chart.
